| Sleep variable | Non-REM (n=22) | REM (n=22) | Lateral position (n=2) | Supine position (n=22) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Peff1 | 8.9±2.7 | 9.5±2.9 | 7.0±3.6 | 9.4±3.0 |
| Peff2 | 7.4±3.0 | 7.4±3.3 | 4.8±1.5 | 7.6±3.3 |
| Δ(Peff1–Peff2) | 1.5±1.6 | 2.1±1.7 | −1.0±1.4 | 1.8±1.6 |
| p | <0.001 | <0.001 | n.a. | <0.001 |
Data are mean±SD values.
CPAP: continuous positive airway pressure, n.a., not applicable, REM: rapid eye movement.
